-Passing by a bond that no one has ever respected environmental -
The air thick and humid, with the south wind stopped, the burden rests on the beach. The protagonist is
Monica Bellucci , object of desire of a young man die.
In the background, a murmured melody languidly in a warm female voice.
The themes are all Sicilians the sunshine, passion, Mediterranean beauty, voyeurism and faith.
I'm pretty sure all of you have seen the commercial perfume D & G. was shot in the mid-90s, Il Castello di Falconara (Butera CL) and the wild beaches of the coast buterese made up the enchanting natural scenery.
Today, however, black and white film in my mind translates reality into a memory of a place disappeared like when you look at the photo of an old tombstone.
How do you destroy such a place?
The natural beauty of the anthropic Desusino suffers the first attack in the '80s when, next to houses allocated to peasants during land reform in the mid-60s, begin to rise villas, a few residences, a bar, a nightclub and a road joins the highway 115 to an area of \u200b\u200basphalt used as a parking built a few meters from the shore.
All this without a plan and then in the absence , still, to water and sanitation, while the structure is mostly abandoned. This forces the sandy beach and dunes, preventing to "move" and remodel at will of the winds and sea currents starting a slow but steady erosion.
'87 policy local felt the need to "protect" with a dead landscape and environmental the coast between the other wonderful shows native plants, thorny shrubs such as' Eryngium maritimum and especially beautiful colors of Retama Retama-stems with the characteristic color and glaucous bloom white, natural habitat for birds and insects.
A decade ago the town of Gela perform the work and the port of Licata create a marina. The work of the two towns located at the ends of the coast in question seems to be the cause of the exponential acceleration of the erosion that comes in these days at the top, turning a paradise into hell . The golden beach
choice Tornatore, today is a thin strip of rocks and debris, the car was swallowed half the sea and dragged him with it, turning slabs of asphalt and cement blocks in rocks. The sea is getting closer to homes and dig under the walls of clay and tuff causing small landslides.
What I find difficult to understand is the fact that in 2005 the Provincial Commission for the protection of the natural beauty and panoramic views of Province of Caltanissetta, consider that between zones Falconara (Butera) and Manfria (Gela) a stretch of beach, certainly unique in the Sicilian coast, characterized by the extraordinary spectacle of the dunes c.da Desusino still worthy of being subjected to special protection by extending the existing bond declaring the area " Community interest". In
minutes No 25/09/2006 48, explains that "The need to pay the above areas, with a simple extension of the existing landscape restrictions, it is particularly appropriate in the presence of an increasing human pressure (PIP area of \u200b\u200bthe town of Butera, plans to settlements of tourism, hotels, tunnels for vegetable crops, illegal building, junction SSV Caltanissetta - Gela, etc..) which, otherwise not opposed and normative, might impair a stretch of beach, definitely unique in the Sicilian coastal ...
It is believed, as stated above, that this strip of coast , standing out in the hills north of Butera and the two "guardians" of the castle of Falconara and Tower Manfria to extremes, against which is unique to the specific problems and environmental continuity - but threatened by a neighboring and extensive urbanization of scattered houses and infrastructure, which together could result in changes to the greenhouses and severely degraded and should be preserved in its identity and continuity of the marine landscape and rural combined. The loss of natural landscape, in fact, requires actions to safeguard the areas still free and natural environments , preparatory to environmental restoration, to prevent irreversible changes to plunge ... .
But since 2009 the area was declared the Sicilian Region - Department of Civil Protection - Hydrogeological and Environmental Risks of category R4 VERY HIGH RISK that is: for which they may have lost lives and serious injury, serious damage to buildings, infrastructure and environmental heritage, the destruction of socio-economic development. To date, there was no prepared Intervet environmental regeneration.
On May 11 we read about Sicily buterese that a delegation went to Palermo to say "no" to a Landscape Plan which is likely to create serious constraints such as non allow any type of development and five days after the Mayor Luigi Di Butera Casisa said: "I asked for a meeting with the commissioner to the area Mr environment Giovanni Di Mauro, hoping to meet Wednesday to see and have the output of certain notices on the restoration of coastal areas. We expected, as can be seen in public transac-year plan that started two distinct
a coastal erosion, beach nourishment buterese the coast, we expect to participate in the selection this year, given that the ' is expected to amount to € 17,095,210.00, present projects in chunks;
2 safeguard coastal restoration and consolidation subject of erosion of beaches, and coastal protection and improvement for tourism that is expected participation in 2011, considered that the cost is estimated at 10,329,138, 00, also plans to present here excerpts.
P hy in chunks? amounts are high, can not be funded, but our priority will be given to the apron (parking note) Desusino .... "
few weeks after you see forced to announce to the press ordinance prohibiting bathing for "p ericolo of collapse and landslides, blocking what he called" the flying local economy, "while the summer is knocking at the door.
At this point it would be natural to ask what or who are constraints protection of a place? Because no one respects them ? Why the City of Butera, although he has an interest, has never found the alleged responsibility of the adjacent communities and institutions that have the specific task of protecting those parts of the territory under a landscape bond in accordance with law?
Article 9 of the Constitution says
The Republic promotes the development of culture and scientific and technical research. Protecting the landscape and the historical and artistic heritage of the nation.
Yeah ... but who protects us from those who were not protected?
